Most of the sequenced bacterial genomes contain a gene encoding a protein known as Hfq
that resembles the eukaryotic RNA-binding proteins of the LSm family. It was originally …

The Hfq protein was discovered in Escherichia coli as a host factor for bacteriophage Qβ
RNA replication. Subsequent studies indicated that Hfq is a pleiotropic regulator of bacterial …

Photorhabdus luminescens maintains a symbiotic relationship with the nematodes
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and together they infect and kill insect larvae. To maintain this …

Accumulating evidence indicates that RNA metabolism components assemble into
supramolecular cellular structures to mediate functional compartmentalization within the …

Hfq is a pleiotropic regulator that mediates several aspects of bacterial RNA metabolism.
The protein notably regulates translation efficiency and RNA decay in Gram-negative …

The bacterial chromosomic DNA is packed within a membrane-less structure, the nucleoid,
due to the association of DNA with proteins called Nucleoid Associated Proteins (NAPs) …

Hfq is a bacterial protein that is involved in several aspects of nucleic acids metabolism. It
has been described as one of the nucleoid associated proteins shaping the bacterial …

Regulation of protein mobility is a fundamental aspect of cellular processes. In this study, we
examined the impact of DNA methylation on the diffusion of nucleoid associated protein Hfq …

Hfq is a bacterial pleiotropic regulator that mediates several aspects of nucleic acids
metabolism. The protein notably influences translation and turnover of cellular RNAs …

Molecular transport of biomolecules plays a pivotal role in the machinery of life. Yet, this role
is poorly understood due the lack of quantitative information. Here, the role and properties of …
